Abstract
This paper presents the experience of application of the ISO/IEC 15504 standard in eight software companies. Firstly, the objectives, the participants and the work plan are exposed. Secondly, the implementation of the project activities and its results are summarized. And finally, the cost of the implementation is detailed. The project which has allowed this improvement effort in these organizations has been named “QuaSAR II” and represents the continuance of the “QuaSAR” project, a software process improvement initiative started in 2002 in the Balearic Islands.
